Confederates In The Attic

a. Flowering plants: flowers, fruits and seeds, and broad leaves

b. Segmented worms: Segmentation, coelem, and digestive system

A) Flowering plants, also knows as angiosperms, have had a significant role in evolution because defining reproductive system, dispersal of seeds by fruits, and overall global impact. For example, the flower is the reproductive structure of an angiosperm, and perhaps the greatest factor in the rise of this species. Sepals, petals, stamens (which produce pollen) and carpels all contribute in the transfer of pollen from one flower to another through pollinators. For instance, the petals aid in attracting insects and other pollinators, this continuing the succession of angiosperms. Furthermore, fruits help disperse the seeds of angiosperms, as ovaries ripen into fruits, they are carried to a different location by wind or animals. As plants, fruits and flowers evolved, some herbivores became beneficial to the plants by carrying the pollen and seeds of plants they used as food. Certain animals became specialists at these tasks, feeding on specific plants. Natural selection reinforced this relationship by allowing the success of reproduction, the plants got pollinated and the animal was received food. These interactions with animals that transport pollen and seeds have helped angiosperms become the most successful plants on earth. Finally, flowering plants have had a priceless contribution to the environment. For instance, plants transformed the atmosphere and the climate by lowering the carbon dioxide, which contributed to the cooling of the earth during the Paleozoic era.

B) The evolutionary significance of segmented worms is evident in the adaptation of coelem, segmentation and digestive system. For example, the coelem provides a hydrostatic skeleton, allows new and diverse methods of locomotion, provides body space for storage and for
